My plan is to have a key for the ssh key and then use ssh-agent.

Very often not possible.
Depending on the size of an organization you may have:
Mobile users
Users working from home
Users from multiple offices

If my suggested approach worked, that would be a possible alternative for

user. Hence, whey I am asking if that suggested approach is considered safe 
from a "best practices" standpoint.
